Default User management

I'm totally weirded out by this user management system. How do you have a page to create users, but no place on that screen to specify the pass? How do you set the pass for the users that you just created?

The other thing was that default admin login is neatly tucked away in a little readme which in reading in a glance is very easy to skip. oh well now I'm logged in, and I know how to change the main admin password, but how do I setup other users passes?

Ok I just checked my mail and there appears a littlle piece of mail with my new password. So this is security? sending passwords over the wire unencrypted? Not only that there are no confirmations to help you devine that your pass has been broadcasted along its way to your mail account.

Now that I it figured out how initial passwords get set. How are forgotten (changed) passwords reset? Is there no provision for the administrator to fully manage the users? You have to login indevidually to change such settings?

Login and change it. The first time a new admin logs in, it goes right to the password modification screen. Had you tried it, you would have seen this. We have been working on telepathy to deliver the new passwords, but have not worked out the decompression routine

I did not write the admin, just installed it into MS2-MAX. You are by all means welcome to improve it. You have the source code, so have at it.

Forgotton passwords: click the password forgotton? link on the Main Login Screen, right in plain sight.

What does this mean? Of course you have to login to manage your users. How would you propose you manage them? Logged out? I don't follow. Please clarify this.
